Safety on the slopes

Traffic rules for downhill skiers
1.    Be attentive – show consideration 
        Behave in such a way that you don’t risk injuring anyone else.
2.    Adjust your speed and skiing technique to the terrain, equipment,
        weather and your own skiing ability.
3.    Choose the right skiing direction!
        If you’re coming down from the top you must keep clear of skiers
        ahead of  you.
4.    Leave space when overtaking!
        Keep a big enough distance that skiers who are overtaken have
        enough room.
5.    Set off cautiously!
        Check both upwards and downwards that the run is free before
        you start  skiing.
6.    Only stop where you can be seen!
        If you have to stop – do it where you are clearly visible and where
       others can ski round you. If you’re going downhill – leave the run
       free as soon as possible.
7.     Climb up to the side of the run
         - especially in poor visibility.
8.     Pay heed to signs! 
         Regulations and instructions on the runs are there for your
         well-being and   the well-being of others. Follow them!
9.    Render assistance!
        You must render assistance in the event of an accident.
10. Give your name and address!
        If you are involved in an accident, you must give your name and
        address.
